الشرح 空いている in your Level:

At the A1 level, you should learn 'aiteru' as a simple phrase for 'free' or 'is open.' You will mostly use it in two situations: asking if a seat is free (Seki, aiteru?) or asking if a friend is free to play (Ashita, aiteru?). It is a very useful word for basic social interaction. Think of it as the opposite of 'busy' or 'taken.' At this level, don't worry too much about the grammar behind it; just remember the sound and the basic meaning of 'available space or time.' You might see the kanji 空 on signs in Japan, especially near parking lots or toilets. If it is green, it usually means 'go ahead, it is empty!'

At the A2 level, you begin to understand that 'aiteru' is the state form of the verb 'aku.' You should be able to use it with the particle 'ga' to describe things like 'the road is empty' (michi ga aiteru) or 'the store is open' (mise ga aiteru). You should also learn the polite form 'aiteimasu.' This is important for talking to strangers or teachers. You will start to notice the difference between 'aiteru' (available) and 'hima' (having nothing to do). A2 learners should practice using 'aiteru' to make simple plans with friends using the '...te iru?' question form.

At the B1 level, you need to master the nuance of 'aiteru' in various contexts. You should understand that it refers to a 'vacancy' in a system, such as a job opening, a schedule gap, or a physical space. You should be comfortable using it in the conditional form (aitara) to say 'If/When it becomes free.' You also begin to learn related idioms like 'te ga aiteru' (to be available to help). B1 learners should be careful not to use 'aiteru' when they mean 'empty' in the sense of 'containing nothing' (which is 'kara'). You should also be able to recognize the kanji and its different potential readings based on context (aku vs suku).

At the B2 level, you should use 'aiteru' and its noun form 'aki' with precision. You understand the difference between 'suite iru' (less crowded) and 'aiteru' (vacant), even though they share the same kanji. You can use 'aiteru' in more complex business scenarios, such as discussing 'aki-joukyou' (vacancy status) for hotels or rentals. You should also be aware of the abstract uses, such as a 'gap' in someone's knowledge or a 'vacancy' in a political post. Your use of particles with 'aiteru' should be flawless, and you should be able to switch between casual and formal alternatives (like 'kuuseki' or 'go-tsugou') depending on the listener.

At the C1 level, you are exploring the literary and metaphorical uses of 'aiteru.' You might encounter it in literature to describe a 'void' in someone's heart or a 'gap' in historical records. You understand the etymological connection between the sky (sora) and the concept of emptiness (aku/aiteru). You can use the word to describe complex social phenomena, like 'aki-ya' (the abandoned house problem in Japan). You also understand the subtle difference in nuance when a speaker chooses 'aiteru' over more technical terms, often to sound more grounded or direct. You can handle the word in all its conjugated forms across various levels of keigo (honorifics).

At the C2 level, 'aiteru' is a tool for nuanced expression. You can discuss the philosophical implications of 'ku' (emptiness) in Japanese culture and how it relates to the linguistic root of 'aiteru.' You are perfectly comfortable with technical, legal, and poetic uses of the term. You can detect the slightest nuance in a speaker's tone when they use 'aiteru'—for instance, whether they are being dismissive, hopeful, or merely factual. You can use the word in high-level negotiations regarding real estate, scheduling, or resource management without any hesitation, and you can explain these nuances to others.

空いている في 30 ثانية

Means 'empty', 'vacant', or 'free' in terms of space and time.
Commonly used to ask if a seat is available or if someone has free time.
It is a state (te-iru) form, implying the space 'is currently' open.
Essential for daily life in Japan, from restaurants to business meetings.

The Japanese phrase 空いている (aiteru) is the stative form of the verb 空あく (aku). In English, we translate it most commonly as 'empty,' 'vacant,' or 'free.' However, its usage spans across physical space, temporal availability, and even abstract concepts of 'openness.' Understanding this word requires a shift from thinking of it as a simple adjective to seeing it as a state of being—literally, a state where a space that could be filled is currently not filled. This nuance is crucial for B1 learners because it distinguishes between something that is inherently 'void' (like a vacuum) and something that is 'available' for use (like a seat or a schedule slot).

Physical Vacancy: Used for seats, parking spots, or rooms. If you enter a restaurant and see no customers, the tables are aiteru.

すみません、この席せきは空いていますか？ (Excuse me, is this seat free?)

Temporal Availability: Used to describe a schedule. Unlike 'hima' (which implies boredom or having nothing to do), 'aiteru' simply means there is a gap in your calendar.

In the context of retail or hospitality, you will often see signs that say 空あきあり (Aki ari), meaning 'Vacancies available.' This is the noun form of the same root. When a train is not crowded, we say it is suite iru (the same kanji, different reading nuance sometimes, but often interchangeable in casual speech as 'aiteru'). The core concept remains: there is room for you. Whether it is a gap in a crowd, an empty box, or a free hour on a Friday afternoon, 空いている is your go-to expression for 'available capacity.'

今週末こんしゅうまつ、空いている？ (Are you free this weekend?)

Finally, it is important to note that 'aiteru' implies a temporary state. A house that is 'aiteru' is for rent or for sale; it isn't just an abandoned ruin (which would use different vocabulary). It suggests that the space is waiting to be occupied. This 'waiting' nuance makes it a very polite and useful word in social navigation.

Grammatically, 空いている is the -te iru form of the intransitive verb 空あく. This form indicates a continuous state. When you say something 'is' empty in English, you are using an adjective, but in Japanese, you are describing the result of an action that has already occurred (the space 'opened up' and remains 'open').

The Particle が (Ga): Since 空あく is intransitive, the subject is usually marked with が. For example, 予定よていが空あいている (My schedule is open).

駐車場ちゅうしゃじょうが空いていなくて、困こまりました。(The parking lot wasn't empty, so I was in trouble.)

When using it to describe a noun directly, you can use the attributive form: 空あいている部屋へや (an empty room). In casual conversation, the 'i' in '-te iru' is frequently dropped, resulting in 空いてる (aiteru). This is the version you will hear 90% of the time in daily life.

Another common pattern is the conditional 空あいていたら (if it's open/free). This is essential for making plans. 'If you are free, let's go get coffee' would be 時間じかんが空あいていたら、コーヒーを飲のみに行きませんか？. Notice how 時間じかん (time) is the subject that 'opens up.'

午後ごごから空いています。(I will be free from the afternoon.)

In formal business Japanese, you might hear 手てが空あく (te ga aku), literally 'hands become free,' meaning to finish a task and become available to help someone else. The state form 手てが空あいている means 'I am currently available to help.'

If you travel to Japan, 空いている is a word you will hear before you even leave the airport. It is ubiquitous in the service industry and public transportation. On the Yamanote line in Tokyo, you might hear a commuter say 今日きょうは電車でんしゃが空あいているね (The train is empty today, isn't it?), which usually means 'it isn't packed' rather than 'it is literally devoid of people.'

Restaurants and Cafes: Staff will use this to guide you. 'Aiteiru seki e douzo' (Please take any open seat).

窓側まどがわの席せき、空いていますよ。(The window seat is open!)

In a professional setting, managers use it to check their subordinates' bandwidth. A common phrase is 今いま、ちょっと手て、空あいてる？ (Are your hands free for a second?). It is a softer way to ask for a favor than 'Are you busy?'. It focuses on the availability of the person rather than their workload.

On social media or messaging apps like LINE, friends will use the shortened form 'aiteru?' to check if someone can hang out or jump on a voice call. It is the ultimate low-pressure invitation. Because it refers to a 'gap,' it implies that even a small window of time is sufficient.

予約よやく、まだ空いていますか？ (Are there still reservations available?)

You will also encounter this in the context of 'gaps' in physical objects. If a door is slightly ajar, or if there is a gap between two buildings, 'aiteru' is used. It describes the state of being 'not closed' or 'not filled,' which is a very broad conceptual umbrella in Japanese thought.

One of the most frequent errors English speakers make is confusing 空いている (aiteru) with other words for 'free' or 'empty.' The most common culprit is 暇ひま (hima). While both can be translated as 'free,' they are not interchangeable.

Aiteru vs. Hima: 'Hima' describes a person who has nothing to do and might be bored. 'Aiteru' simply means a slot is available. Calling your boss 'hima' is an insult (you're saying they have no work); asking if they are 'aiteru' is professional.

❌ 社長しゃちょう、暇ですか？ (President, are you bored/useless?)
✅ 社長しゃちょう、空いていますか？ (President, do you have a moment?)

Another mistake is using 空から (kara) instead of 空あいている. 'Kara' refers to an empty container that *should* have something in it, like an empty bottle or an empty box. 'Aiteru' refers to a space that *could* be occupied. You wouldn't say a seat is 'kara'; you say it is 'aiteru.'

Learners also struggle with the reading of the kanji. While 空そら means 'sky,' and 空から means 'empty,' the verb is 空あく. If you see 空すく (suku), it often refers to a stomach becoming empty (onaka ga suita) or a place becoming less crowded. While 'suite iru' and 'aiteru' both use the kanji 空, 'aiteru' is more common for 'available' while 'suite iru' is more common for 'not crowded.'

道みちが空いています。(The road is clear/not busy.)

Lastly, remember that aiteru is intransitive. You cannot 'aiteru' a door. You 'akeru' (open) a door. The door 'aku' (opens), and then it is 'aiteiru' (is open). Mixing up transitive and intransitive verbs is a classic hurdle at the B1 level.

To sound more like a native speaker, you should know when to swap 空いている for its synonyms, depending on the register and the specific type of 'emptiness' you are describing.

空席 (Kuuseki): This is a formal noun meaning 'vacant seat.' You will see this on digital displays for trains (Shinkansen) or theaters. Use it in formal writing or when checking status: 'Kuuseki wa arimasu ka?'

ガラガラ (Gara-gara): An onomatopoeic adverb used to describe a place that is 'completely empty' or 'deserted.' If a movie theater only has two people, it is 'gara-gara.'

平日へいじつの遊園地ゆうえんちはガラガラだった。(The amusement park was deserted on a weekday.)

When talking about time, 都合つごうがいい (tsugou ga ii) is a great alternative. It means 'convenient.' While 'aiteru' means you have a gap, 'tsugou ga ii' means that gap works well for you. In business settings, お時間おじかんよろしいでしょうか (O-jikan yoroshii deshou ka?) is the most polite way to ask if someone is 'aiteru.'

For physical gaps, like a hole in a wall or a gap in a fence, 隙間すきま (sukima) is the noun. If you want to say something is 'sparse' rather than empty, you would use まばらまばら (mabara). For example, a crowd that is thinning out.

予定よていを確認かくにんします。 (I will check my schedule [to see if I'm free].)

Understanding these subtle shifts in vocabulary will help you move from a basic B1 level to a more nuanced, natural-sounding B2/C1 level of Japanese. Always consider: Is it a seat? Is it time? Is it a container? Is it a formal situation?

نصائح

Checking Seats

Always use 'Aiteimasu ka?' when pointing at a seat in a cafe. It's the most natural way.

Drop the 'i'

In casual speech, 'aiteiru' becomes 'aiteru'. This is much more common.

Business Etiquette

When asking for a boss's time, say 'O-jikan aiteimasu ka?' to be respectful.

Aki vs Aku

The noun 'Aki' is often used on signs, while 'Aiteru' is used in speech.

Eye-Tea-Empty

Remember: Ai-Te-Ru. 'I see the tea is empty' (vacant).

Parking Lots

Look for the green '空' sign; it means there is space for your car.

Kanji Choice

Make sure to use 空, not 開, when you mean 'vacant'.

Listen for 'Suite iru'

If someone says 'Densha ga suite iru', they mean the train is not crowded.

Schedule Gaps

Use 'yotei ga aiteru' to sound more natural than 'hima desu'.

Don't say 'Hima'

Never tell a customer or boss you are 'hima'. Say your 'te ga aiteiru'.

احفظها

وسيلة تذكّر

Imagine an 'Eye' (Ai) looking into a 'Tea' (Te) cup and seeing it is 'Empty' (Aiteru).

تحدٍّ

Try to use 'aiteru' three times today: once for a seat, once for your schedule, and once to ask for help.

أصل الكلمة

Derived from the ancient Japanese verb 'aku', which meant to open, to be bright, or to be empty. It shares a root with 'ake' (dawn/opening).

المعنى الأصلي: To become open or clear.

Japonic

السياق الثقافي

Be careful when using 'aiteru' to describe people; always use it for their 'time' or 'hands', not their personality (which would sound 'empty-headed').

English speakers often say 'Are you free?' which focuses on the person. Japanese 'Aiteru?' focuses on the availability of the slot.
